Propose strategies foe use of relevant theories that nurse leaders can employ in selected healthcare or educational organizations, considering legal and ethical principles.

Select a grand nursing theory. Explain how application of this theory by nurse leaders and nurse managers can influence outcomes from two of the following areas.

Organizational operations
Patient satisfaction scores
Patient-care delivery
Workflow redesign
Nursing theory is vital to all practice areas in nursing specialties. An evidence-based (theoretical) approach is a quality of professional nursing practice and guides systematic care for patients. If the profession of nursing is to continue to be recognized and respected, members of our discipline must continue to use theory as a basis for critical thinking and decision-making in practice.

In this thread you will respond to and discuss: Select a grand nursing theory. Explain how application of this theory by nurse leaders and nurse managers can influence outcomes from two of the following areas:
• Organizational operations
• Patient satisfaction scores
• Patient-care delivery
• Workflow redesign

The course outcomes that will be used to guide the learning process are:
• Propose strategies foe use of relevant theories that nurse leaders can employ in selected healthcare or educational organizations, considering legal and ethical principles. (PO #2, 6)
• Communicate the analysis of and proposed strategies for the use of a theory in nursing practice. (PO#3)
• Recommend strategies for the use of theory as the basis for actions of advanced nursing practice in leadership and education. (PO#5)

The IOM (Institute of Medicine) Future of Nursing report calls for an increase in leadership from nurses at all levels. One way nurses demonstrate their role as a leader is through public policy change. A leader does not always carry an official title or position but demonstrates leadership through the work and the stance he/she takes to make a change for the good of others. Nurses have been noted by the Gallop poll year after year as the most trusted professionals.
This assignment requires thought about a public policy that is needed or needs to be changed that relates to nursing healthcare and/or the public. Policy changes can occur by working with members of your legislature and state or national nurses associations to introduce a new bill and/or change to a current law in your state or federal government.
Examples of public policy includes any component of the current legislation governing health care Medicare part D Medicaid nursing regulation medication technicians etc.
In 750-1000 words propose a health policy change (that is currently a bill a law or may not exist at all) at the state or federal level that you believe needs to change and why.
1.The policy must NOT be a clinical care policy for individual care. The policy involved may include public or community health legislative or regulatory professional organization (nursing-oriented) advanced nursing practice health plan or hospital plan.
2.Include a specific section for the exact wording for the bill or change in wording of the law.
3.Include the plan for the implementation of your policy development to lobbying for passage to next steps after passage.
4.Discuss who would be the champion for the bill/law change from your state advocates (legislators federal legislators local or national state nursing organizations). Are these individuals also influential in making changes occur? Did you vote for the individual in office that you want to help you make this change?
(State to be used is N.J.)
Resources:
1.Review different pieces of legislation for ideas on wording.
2.Visit your states legislative governmental affairs website site to understand the process your policy change could take if you wanted to introduce to into legislation.
3.Refer to the Nursing Leadership Health Policy Presentation Rubric.
4.Submit the assignment to the instructor by the end of Topic 2.
Prepare this assignment according to the APA guidelines found in the APA Style Guide located in the Student Success Center. An abstract is not required.

RE: DQ2_CH 14RE: DQ2_CH 14
Over the last several years, the United States healthcare system, has been working on allowing all citizens of the U.S. to be available to healthcare. (Black 303). Although the U.S. favors a free-market economy, the federal government has taken steps to ensure certain groups have access to health care through publicly funded programs including: Medicare and Medicaid (Black 304). Multiple steps should be considered when allocating health care services. Decisions should include normal societal values, and there should be no biased or discriminative opionions among people. The public, insurers, and physicians should be allowed input of health care resources. An effective plan to conserve and distribute health care will help to elimate inequalities and enable proper health care to all Americans. Whether an individual is covered by insurance, Medicare, Medicaid, or other sources of payment, individuals should recieve the same care. In regards to if a patient needs a kidney tansplant and they can not afford it, they still get on the list. If a kidney becomes available, they will recieve that kidney. As a nurse, it does not matter if a patient can afford their medical bills. It doesnt effect the care in which the patient will recieve. The patient should be treated the same reguardless of their income, and should be provided with the same medical treatment as patient who was able to afford their medical bills.

RE: DQ2_CH 14RE: DQ2_CH 14
How should health care resources be allocated is a difficult question to answer. I think that more of the resources should focus on health promotion and maintenance, and prevention. These offer ways to keep the patient healthy and prevent problems, identify risk factors, or detect illnesses in the early stages when there is a better chance for treatment or survival (Black, 2014, p. 286). Maybe we wouldn’t have to deal with so many kidney transplants, hip replacements and bone marrow transplants if we put our resources in those categories of health care service. A more difficult question is what criteria should be used to determine whether a patient receives certain care or not. Where do you draw the line? If the issue is not enough resources, then I guess patient compliance has to be factored in. You can’t waste an organ on someone who is not compliant. If we spend hundreds of thousands of dollars to transplant a kidney for a patient and deny someone else the benefit of it, then the patient should be counted on take all his medicine, go to appointments, and follow his plan of care so he doesn’t need another one in a few years. I believe that currently there is a procedure that ranks those who need organs by criteria such as how sick they are, whether they use drugs, their age, etc. I think if someone could benefit from a bone marrow transplant or hip replacement the same sort of criteria could apply. Of course, it’s easy to say that until it’s you or your family member that is the one being denied that life saving procedure because you don’t fit the criteria. I don’t think that the ability to pay should be a factor. I don’t believe that the wealthy should have more right to health care than the poor. You are not a better person or more worthy just because you are rich. Black (2014), points out that “an illness or injury severe enough to require hospitalization can quickly exhaust a family’s financial reserves, forcing them into bankruptcy” (p. 307). According to Black (2014), “the United States and South Africa are the only two industrialized nations that do not provide universal access to health care to all their citizens” (p. 308). Health care expenditures are higher in the United states than any other country (Black, 2014, p.308). Since everyone is so concerned about bringing down health care costs, maybe going to universal coverage will help rein in the soaring costs. If people had the right to basic care, maybe they would quit using the emergency rooms as doctor’s offices, catch problems before they become severe and more expensive to treat, and participate in health promotion and maintenance, all which would bring down health care costs. People who wanted more than basic coverage could still obtain coverage through private insurers. I know universal coverage won’t fix all the problems, but the system seems broken the way it is.

Law and Ethics – Nursing

You are working as an EEN at Sunnyside Day Respite Centre on a morning shift.

You have had six clients come in for care today one of whom is Mrs Jocelyn Davis.
She is a regular client at the Respite Centre and has been diagnosed with moderate
dementia.
At 1030 hours Mrs Davis becomes agitated and begins to wander around the
Respite Centre. The Registered Nurse in charge of the shift, RN Jolie, tells you to
restrain Mrs Davis in her chair with a lap restraint. You are not certain that Mrs Davis
needs to be restrained and you question RN Jolie’s order. RN Jolie becomes
annoyed at your question and tries to restrain Mrs Davis herself.
Mrs Davis verbally objects to being restrained and attempts to undo the restraint. In
the process her chair tips over, she hits her head on the floor and loses
consciousness. While RN Jolie attends to Mrs Davis you call the ambulance.
After Mrs Davis is taken to hospital RN Jolie tells you to say that Mrs Davis was
found after she had falle n and hit her head if anyone asks you about what happened
to her. RN Jolie also tells you not to say anything about restraining Mrs Davis as you
will both get into trouble. You feel uncomfortable about this but she is your
Registered Nurse so you say nothi ng.
Mrs Davis dies in hospital two days later. The Coroner has been notified by the
hospital and her death is to be investigated by the Coroner’s Court.
When you hear about what is to happen following Mrs Davis’ death you are unsure
and become worried about what you should do now.
1. Discuss the following legal and professional issues in relation to this Case
Study:
• Consent, restraint, assault and battery
• Duty of care, negligence and vicarious liability
• Scope of practice (the legal and professional boundaries imposed upon
you as a nurse)
• Advocacy (the nurse’s role as an advocate for the client)
• Documentation
• Open disclosure

Does your organization use portable electronic devices? What safeguards are in place to ensure the security of data and patient information?

Does your organization use portable electronic devices? What safeguards are in place to ensure the security of data and patient information?
Security of Health Care Records

With the increase of health information technology used to store and access patient information, the likelihood of security breaches has also risen. In fact, according to the Canadian Medical Association Journal (CMAJ):

In the United States, there was a whopping 97% increase in the number of health records breached from 2010 to 2011… The number of patient records accessed in each breach has also increased substantially, from 26,968 (in 2010) to 49,394 (in 2011). Since August 2009, when the US government regulated that any breach affecting more than 500 patients be publicly disclosed, a total of 385 breaches, involving more than 19 million records, have been reported to the Department of Health and Human Services.

A large portion of those breaches, 39%, occurred because of a lost, stolen, or otherwise compromised portable electronic device—a problem that will likely only get worse as iPads, smartphones, and other gadgets become more common in hospitals. (CMAJ, 2012, p. E215).

Consider your own experiences. Does your organization use portable electronic devices? What safeguards are in place to ensure the security of data and patient information? For this Discussion you consider ethical and security issues surrounding the protection of digital health information.

To prepare:

Review the Learning Resources dealing with the security of digital health care information. Reflect on your own organization or one with which you are familiar, and think about how health information stored electronically is protected.
Consider the nurse’s responsibility to ensure the protection of patient information. What strategies can you use?
Reflect on ethical issues that are likely to arise with the increased access to newer, smaller, and more powerful technology tools.
Consider strategies that can be implemented to ensure that the use of HIT contributes to an overall culture of safety.
Post on or before Day 3 an analysis of the nurse’s responsibility to protect patient information and the extent that HIT has made it easier or more difficult to protect patient privacy. Comment on any security or ethical issues related to the use of portable devices to store information. Assess the strategies your organization uses to safeguard patient information and how these promote a culture of safety. Describe an area where improvement is needed and one strategy that could address the situation.

Disaster preparedness has been a major focus since the 9/11 terrorist attack in 2001. Much planning for all types of disasters have been done since that time. How successful has our planning been? Hurricane Katrina in 2005 and Hurricane Sandy in 2012, makes one wonder. Please read through the articles posted for insight (Nursing in Hurricanes Katrina & Sandy – You will not be tested on the articles.).
Start this project as soon as you can. The Turnitin portal will be open for you to upload as early as Week 5 (Thursday) and the final due date is Week 6 on Monday evening at 11:55p.m. (This gives you 5 days to upload. See the calendar for a clear understanding.)

The document that is uploaded is what is graded. Please be sure to double check prior to hitting submit. There will be no resubmitting of documents.

DIRECTIONS:

OPTION #1 – Your facility’s disaster plan:

Review the disaster plans in place within your facility. This is the best option. Your purposeful review may benefit your practice should a disaster occur. Do not attempt to analyze hospital-wide plans; this is too time-consuming! However, you may have to “skim” large parts of the plan to find what you would like to write about.

-Select a segment of your facility’s plan that needs improvement or is an exemplary part of the plan.

-Discuss what needs improvement and what a possible resolution might be.

-If it is an exemplary part of the plan, what makes it exemplary? Defend your assertion with peer reviewed journal(s).

OPTION #2 – A needs assessment of your facility:

If you cannot locate your facility’s disaster plan, you can use the “Hospital Disaster Preparedness Self-Assessment Tool” in the Additional Required Readings under the Final Project banner. Do not attempt to use the entire tool; this is too time-consuming!

-Select a segment of the tool to assess your facility.

-Discuss your assessment findings.

-Offer a resolution to negative findings or commend positive findings (and what makes it positive). Defend your assertion with peer reviewed journal(s).

OPTION #3 – An example of a hospital’s disaster plan:

If you are employed in a setting other than a hospital (ie: clinic, home health, etc.), unemployed or your facility does not have a disaster plan, please review the example disaster plan on the Moodle course page. Do not attempt to analyze the hospital-wide plan; this is too time-consuming! However, you may have to “skim” large parts of the plan.

-Select a segment of the facility’s example plan that needs improvement or is an exemplary part of the plan to find what you would like to write about.

-Discuss what needs improvement and what a possible resolution might be.

-If it is an exemplary part of the plan, what makes it exemplary? Defend your assertion with peer reviewed journal(s).

APA format applies (in-text citations as indicated, double spacing, title page, and reference page). Your submission should not exceed two to three pages (2-3) pages excluding the title page and reference list. This is intended to be scholarly writing. Support your assertions with evidence-based, peer-reviewed nursing journals as indicated.

This activity is worth 20% of your total grade. You can expect individual feedback within a week of the due date and time.

Students failing to meet the deadline will receive an automatic 50% reduction on their paper prior to actual grading. If the student fails to submit within the next 24 hours, a grade of “0” will be assigned.

What is the Area for Action that you feel is most important for public health preparedness?Your assignment is to write an essay in which you select the single area that you feel to be the most important for public health preparedness. Justify your position.

In her commentary, “The Global Dimensions of Public Health Preparedness and Implications for US Action,” Moore (2012) points out that Public Health is truly a global issue; and she discusses what that means for us here in the US in terms of our need for preparedness. She suggests four areas for action: 1) sensitize practitioners to the global nature of diseases, 2) learn from the success of other countries, 3) US Investment in Global Health, and 4) acting locally on global issues.

Instructions

The goal of this literature review is to increase our knowledge about technology use in practice and to identify where there is need for improvement. Information technology seems to be a widely discussed topic these days and most nurses have no clear idea how it can transform the way we do things on an every day basis. We will also look at the impact technology has on nursing, patients, and colleagues. We will then focus on a specific nursing setting, in this case the emergency room. This literature review is organized to grow on each independent section so that you, the reader, can form your own opinion, but take with you the universal understanding of how information technology will lead us down a new and exciting career path.

Technology is stated as the scientific method and material used to achieve a commercial or industrial objective. To go one step further, nursing technology is using a tool to advance nursing practice. “The Institute of medicine identified that technology as a viable method of enhancing patient care delivery and improving staff productivity” Sensme…
